Second Life Syndrome - Riverside

From day to day, from hand to mouth

We’re turning around, vicious ritual

Getting used to it all, falling down again

We’re waiting for the decrees of providence

I don’t want to waste any more of my life

Live from day to day, live from hand to mouth

Facing the light, I brush aside your plans

I’m going to have it all my own way

And when that all shattered I felt I’d broken my fall

Couldn’t pretend that I felt strong about us anymore

Without your help I finally started to live my own life

I just want you to know this time

I just want you to know this time

And when that all shattered I felt I’d broken my fall

Couldn’t pretend that I felt strong about us anymore

Without your help I finally started to live my own life

I just want you to know this time

I just want to feel your sigh on my neck

Want to feel your breath, feel your need to stay

You don’t know my name, don’t know my face

Only thoughts I share in my secret place

Secret exhibition, cure for loneliness

I’ve ground to a halt, there’s no turning back

You know there are things I just can’t forget

You’ve helped me so much, to learn to be detached

But when that all shattered I felt I’d broken my fall

Couldn’t pretend that I felt strong about us anymore

Without that help I finally started to live my own life

And I know I don’t need you now

Secret exhibition, cure for loneliness

Life is much too short to be whiled away with tears

Secret exhibition, cure for loneliness

I erase you now, I don’t need you now

I erase you now with all of my past

Day after day
